Revenues for the third quarter of 2009 were $65,532,000, a decrease of 25% from revenues of $87,368,000 for the third quarter of 2008. Net income for the third quarter of 2009 was $6,803,000, as compared to net loss of $3,030,000 for the third quarter of 2008. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) for the third quarter of 2009 were $0.29, as compared to a loss of $0.11 per share for the third quarter of 2008.
Non-GAAP Results:
Non-GAAP net income and diluted EPS for the third quarter of 2009 were $4,336,000 and $0.18 per share, respectively; a decrease of 41% from the non-GAAP net income of $7,367,000 and a decrease of 33% from the non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.27 per share for the third quarter of 2008. Non-GAAP net income and diluted EPS for the third quarter of 2009 excluded the impact of amortization of acquired intangible assets of $3,072,000 associated with the acquisition of the Cordless and VoIP Terminals business of NXP B.V.; equity-based compensation expenses of $2,637,000; gains from realization of previously impaired available-for-sale securities of $531,000; and a tax benefit of $7,645,000 resulting from the reversal of income tax contingency reserve that was determined to be no longer needed due to the expiration of applicable limitation statutes. Non-GAAP net income and diluted EPS for the third quarter of 2008 excluded the impact of amortization of acquired intangible assets of $5,702,000 associated with the acquisition of the Cordless and VoIP Terminals business of NXP B.V.; equity-based compensation expenses of $3,205,000; restructuring expenses of $1,870,000 associated with our cost cutting measures at various operating sites; an unrealized loss related to certain available-for-sale marketable securities of $671,000; and the aggregate tax benefits associated with such expenses of $1,051,000.
Ofer Elyakim, CEO of DSP Group, stated: "Our financial results for the third quarter were at the higher end of our forecast and reflect solid execution in what remains a challenging environment in which our customers' visibility remains limited."
The Company believes that the non-GAAP presentation of net income and diluted EPS presented in this press release is useful to investors in comparing results for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 to the same period in 2008 because the exclusion of the above noted expenses may provide a more meaningful analysis of the Company's core operating results. Further, the Company believes it is useful to investors to understand how the expenses associated with equity-based compensations expenses are reflected on its statements of income.
